Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Chen Xi looked at the photo on her phone. Shen Fei was standing inside the door, leaning half his body out, looking somewhat bewildered.

A smile played on her lips as she opened WeChat, found Zhou Yun's profile picture, and sent her the photo.

Less than ten seconds after the message was sent, my phone started vibrating incessantly.

Chen Xi answered the call slowly, and before she could even speak, Zhou Yun's anxious and flustered voice came from the other end:

"Chen Xi!!! What did you post?! Why are you with Shen Fei?! Where are you?! Why are you at a hotel?!

A barrage of questions came at Chen Xi like a machine gun, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"puff--"

She covered her mouth, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

Why is this girl in such a hurry?

"What are you laughing at?! Tell me now!!!" Zhou Yun's voice was almost cracking. "Why are you two together? When did you meet Shen Fei? How come I don't know?! What were you doing at the hotel?!"

Chen Xi leaned against the headboard, crossed her legs, and said slowly, "With so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

"Answer them one by one!!!"

"Okay." Chen Xi cleared her throat. "First, we're in Snow City. Second, he'll help me film the video. Third, let's go to the hotel~"

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, building up anticipation, before saying lightly:

"Of course, we'll book a hotel room."

The other end of the phone went silent instantly.

Three full seconds later, Zhou Yun's scream nearly ruptured Chen Xi's eardrums:

"What?! Booking a hotel room?!?"

Shen Fei had just taken out his laptop in the next room to get to work when he heard Chen Xi's laughter coming from the next room.

He paused for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of Chen Xi's room.

What's going on?

What is that woman doing?

Shen Fei shook his head. Just as he was about to open the backend of his Douyin account, his phone suddenly vibrated.

It's news from Zhou Yun.

"Shen Fei!!! Where are you?!?"

Shen Fei looked at the message, completely bewildered.

"On a business trip in Syracuse, what's up?"

The message had barely been sent when Zhou Yun called.

Shen Fei answered the call, but before he could speak, he heard Zhou Yun's angry voice:

"You're with Chen Xi?!?"

Shen Fei was taken aback: "Chen Xi? Yeah. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! Why are you two together?! What are you doing at the hotel?!"

Shen Fei was stumped by the series of questions.

My mind raced, and I suddenly remembered the photo Chen Xi had just taken.

He instantly understood.

Shen Fei rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

What on earth is Chen Xi up to?

"I came to Snow City on a business trip with Chen Xi. What's up?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yun's voice sounded even more aggrieved, "Then...then how did you meet Chen Xi?! You two...are you dating?"

Shen Fei: "???? Chen Xi and I were college classmates. Her company ran into some problems, so she asked me to help with its operations and promotion. We're just business partners..."

What is this? Emotional PR? Shen Fei cursed inwardly.

"Why would you book a hotel room when you're helping her company with operations and promotion?"

"Let's come to Syracuse to film a video together. If we don't stay in a hotel, where will we stay?"

"Oh! Then why did you go to Syracuse to film the video?"

"Chen Xi is now one of my artists, so isn't it normal for me to come to Syracuse with her to film videos?"

"But I'm also one of your artists, and I'm the chairman of Anyun Foods! Why didn't you take me to Snow City to film a video?"

Although saying this was incredibly embarrassing, Zhou Yun just couldn't understand it.

Why did Chen Xi stay at the hotel with Shen Fei first, even though she had known him for a longer time?

Shen Fei was a little confused, completely unable to understand what Zhou Yun was saying. He asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean???? I had planned to bring you to Snow City to film a video, but Chen Xi's company had an emergency, so we came here at the last minute. Is there a problem?"

Zhou Yun: "Waaaaah! Chen Xi stole my first time..."

Shen Fei: "..."

"So, you and Chen Xi aren't in that kind of relationship? The kind where you kiss."

"Hey, Zhou Yun, watch your words! Chen Xi and I have a normal business relationship. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!"

"But...but Chen Xi said she went to a hotel with you, that...that kind of hotel room!"

"I......"

Shen Fei finally understood what was going on. What was all this nonsense? What was this "booking a room" thing?

Zhou Yun once again redefined his understanding of cuteness. Shen Fei chuckled and said, "What's wrong with you looking so jealous? Want to be my girlfriend?"

Zhou Yun: "..."

Zhou Yun was clearly stumped by Shen Fei's question, and she couldn't help but feel flustered.

Are Shen Fei and Chen Xi really not a couple? Did they really only go to Snow City to film a video?

Also, is Shen Fei confessing his feelings to me?

But why can't it be like a normal confession? How am I supposed to respond?

What do you want to answer?

It doesn't sound like she's accepting a confession.

Shen Fei waited a while, then said again, "I wouldn't dare to ask you to be my girlfriend. You'd get jealous over the slightest thing, and we'd end up arguing every day."

Shen Fei shook his head helplessly. Sometimes he really couldn't understand what Zhou Yun was thinking.

You might say she's stupid, but Zhao Jun was completely under her thumb before.

If you say she's smart, Chen Xi can easily fool her with just a simple photo.

He could sense that Zhou Yun was interested in him, and if they were to get married, Zhou Yun would indeed be a better choice than Chen Xi.

"I don't!"

"You have!"

"I don't!"

"have!"

"I said no, and that's final! Humph! I'm ignoring you."

After Zhou Yun finished speaking, she hung up the phone, finally feeling relieved.

......

In the next room, after hanging up Zhou Yun's call, Chen Xi began practicing her script.

Just then, Zhou Yun called again.

"Chen Xi, you lied to me!!! Shen Fei said he was here to help you film a video!!! You two didn't even book a room, right!!! You've gone too far!!!"

"So tell me, if we didn't book a hotel room, where are we going to sleep?"

"Hmph! Still pretending! You liar."

Chen Xi laughed and said, "Who lied to you? We liked each other in college, but we never confessed before. This time, it's kind of like we've turned a fake relationship into a real one. Otherwise, why would he help me? We're just here to film a video and maybe go on a date."

"Is...is that so?" Zhou Yun's happy expression froze instantly. "But...why didn't Shen Fei tell me?"

Why would he tell you? What's your relationship?

"I..." Zhou Yun was completely speechless. To be honest, her relationship with Shen Fei was just that of a business partner.

Chen Xi knew very well that Zhou Yun was truly heartbroken.

Even if she's heartbroken, she won't easily give up.

After all... dating Shen Fei would be too much of a torment.
